The FC 25 Pre-Season promo continues with Week 2 focusing on players who have already completed transfers during the summer window. These moves were widely known, but what’s new is that EA Sports is giving them 98-rated cards as part of the promotion. Reliable leaker ASY Fut revealed these upcoming additions on Twitter, showing a set of high-rated stars at their new clubs with massive stat boosts.
According to the leak, these players will be released throughout the week as either Objectives or Squad Building Challenges (SBCs) in Ultimate Team. So far, this batch includes Trent Alexander-Arnold, Hugo Ekitike, Noni Madueke, Jonathan David, and Martín Zubimendi.
Alexander-Arnold joins Real Madrid with cracked 98-rated RB card
Former Liverpool fullback Trent Alexander-Arnold now wears the white of Real Madrid, and EA is celebrating the switch with a 98-rated right back card. This version of Trent turns him into a true all-around threat, blending world-class passing with top-tier defending and physicality.
His key stats:
- 96 pace
- 91 shooting
- 99 passing
- 97 dribbling
- 98 defending
- 96 physical
Expect this card to drop as a premium SBC, possibly with tough chemistry or rating requirements due to how overpowered it is.
Ekitike joins Liverpool with a blistering 98-rated striker card
Hugo Ekitike has officially landed at Liverpool, and his leaked Pre-Season card is absolutely stacked. He’s expected to be released as an Objective card, which would make him a great free option for players willing to grind.
Stats include:
- 99 pace
- 98 shooting
- 90 passing
- 98 dribbling
- 50 defending
- 94 physical
His high pace and dribbling make him a great option for pressing styles or counter-attacking setups in FUT.
Madueke switches to Arsenal and picks up massive RM upgrade
Noni Madueke has completed a move to Arsenal, and his 98-rated right midfielder card reflects his creative flair and finishing ability. With elite-level stats across the board, he fits right into Premier League-themed squads.
Expected to be available via SBC, his stats are:
- 99 pace
- 97 shooting
- 94 passing
- 97 dribbling
- 60 defending
- 90 physical
Madueke would be a solid wide option in most formations, especially with the ability to cut inside and shoot.
Jonathan David signs for Juventus with endgame striker card
Canadian forward Jonathan David has joined Juventus, and his 98-rated striker card looks like one of the most balanced No. 9s in the game. EA has boosted all his core stats, making him lethal in the box and strong on the ball.
Leaked stats:
- 99 pace
- 98 shooting
- 96 passing
- 96 dribbling
- 55 defending
- 95 physical
David is expected to arrive as a grindable Objective player, offering high value to players who complete the challenges.
Zubimendi arrives at Arsenal and gets elite defensive midfield card
Martín Zubimendi, now at Arsenal, is getting one of the best CDM cards seen this cycle. With 98 ratings in both defending and dribbling, and strong pace and passing stats, he’s a perfect meta anchor for hybrid squads.
Stats include:
- 97 pace
- 88 shooting
- 97 passing
- 98 dribbling
- 98 defending
- 93 physical
Zubimendi could be an SBC or a high-tier Objective, depending on EA’s weekly structure. Either way, he’s a lock for many Weekend League squads.
